The detection performance of the ste-
reo camera has limits and the stereo
camera cannot detect all vehicles,
obstacles or partition lines. Do not
rely excessively on the system and
always drive in a safe manner.
• Observe the following instructionsin order to keep the stereo camera
functioning properly. If mishandled,
the stereo camera cannot accu-
rately detect an obstacle or parti-
tion lines in front of you, the
system will not fu nction properly
and unexpected accidents may
occur.
– Do not touch the lens of the ste- reo camera.
– Do not clean the lens of the ste- reo camera by yourself.
– Do not strike the body of, or any surrounding parts of the stereo
camera.
– Do not remove or disassemble the stereo camera.
– Do not stick or affix anything to
the lens of the stereo camera, not
even clear items. (Continued)

• When the surrounding parts of the
stereo camera are deformed or
damaged, or the windshield in front
of the stereo camera is cracked
because of an accident, the stereo
camera cannot detect the front
obstacles or partition lines prop-
erly. If driving with these damaged
parts, the dual camera brake sup-
port will not function properly and
unexpected accidents may occur.
Operate the dual camera brake
support OFF switch to turn off the
dual camera brake support, and
ask your SUZUKI dealer to have
them inspected. (Continued)

• The stereo camera has characteristics
similar to the human eyes, so if the front
visibility is poor caused by fog or heavy
rain, etc., the stereo camera will also be
difficult to detect a vehicle, obstacle or
partition line in front of you.
• The detection of a vehicle, obstacle or
partition line in front of you is limited
within the range of vision of the stereo
camera. Also, it takes a few seconds
until the stereo camera judges an object
as the target of the system operating and
warning.

• Do not apply any accessories(other than SUZUKI genuine acces-
sories), films or stickers to the area
listed below. These may affect with
visibility of the stereo camera. If the
area of the stereo camera is
obstructed, the stereo camera can-
not detect any obstacles properly
and the dual camera brake support
may not function properly. Also, if
applying them to an area other than
the prohibited area, it may affect
with the function o f the stereo cam-
era by reflection of light or an
image. In this case, move them to
another place.

Temporary stop of the stereo camera
Under the following situations, the function
of the stereo camera stops temporarily.
When the situations are improved, the
temporary stop of the function will be can-
celed.
• When the visibility of the stereo camerais poor
• When the temperature of the body of
stereo camera i s low or high
• When the systems related the dual cam- era brake support stops temporarily
• When the lead-acid battery has a volt- age abnormality
• When the automatic adjustment of the
stereo camera is insufficient
Failure of the stereo camera
When the stereo camera is failure, the
function of the stereo camera stops until
the ignition switch is turned to “LOCK”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
Find a safe place to park and turn the igni-
tion switch to “LOCK” position or change
the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF) by press-
ing the engine switch.
Restart the engine, and check that the dual
camera brake support indicator light and
lane departure warning indicator light go
off.
• If both of the indicators stay on after restarting the engine, there may be a
failure of the stereo camera. Ask your
SUZUKI dealer to have the stereo cam-
era inspected. It is thought that the cause of failure is the
followings.
• When the stereo camera has an abnor-
mality
• When the temperature of the body of stereo camera is t oo low or too high
• When the mounting position of the ste- reo camera is shifted greatly
• When there are communication abnor-
malities among the engine, transaxle
and brake controller
• When the dual camera brake support
OFF switch has an abnormality
• When the steering angle sensor has an abnormality
• When the power supply of the stereo camera is cut
NOTE:
• Under the following situations, the dual camera brake support indicator light and
lane departure warning indicator light
come on after the engine has started, it
does not indicate a malfunction. Once
the ignition switch is turned to “LOCK”
position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to LOCK
(OFF) and then the engine is restarted,
these indicators will go off.
– When the automatic brake system hasbeen operating 3 times
– When the automatic brake system has
been operating for long periods • The function of the stereo camera stops
if the dual camera brake support indica-
tor light and lane departure warning indi-
cator light come on and there may be a
failure of the stereo camera, but it does
not hinder normal driving.
Pedestrian detection
The stereo camera detects pedestrians by
whose size, shape or motion.

Emergency stop signal (ESS) (if equipped)ESS stands for Emergency Stop Signal.
ESS is a feature that gives a war ning to a following vehicle by flashing all turn signal lights
faster than usual if all the following conditions are met. Also , within these conditions, it will
flash along with your turn signal in the instrument cluster.
• When you slam down on the brakes at speeds of approximately 55 km/h (34 mph) or
over.
• When the ABS is activated or when you suddenly brake similar to activating the ABS.
74P40170
The ESS will stop functioning in the following situations:
• When the vehicle speed decreases enough
• When you release the brake
• When the ABS is no longer activated
• When you turn on the hazard warning switchEXAMPLE
NOTE:
• The ESS feature cannot be deactivated.
• Use of the hazard warning switch should
be given preference over the ESS.
• When driving on the following surfaces and the ABS gives out momentarily, the
ESS may not function.
– When driving on slippery surfaces
– When driving over bumps on the road
such as highway joint seams
WA R N I N G
Although the ESS is designed to
reduce the number of rear-end
crashes that occur from sudden brak-
ing, by warning a following vehicle, it
cannot prevent all crashes. Always
make an effort to drive safely and
avoid unnecessary sudden braking
when stopping or decelerating.

If the rear view from the rearview cam-
era is not shown or there is a poor
image
• If the rear view from the rearview camerais not shown.
– Check that the ignition switch is in
“ON” position or the ignition mode is
ON.
– Check that the gearshift lever is
shifted to “R” position.
• If the image from the rearview camera is poor.
– Check that the camera lens is not dirty.
– Check that light from the sun or thebeam of the headlights from the vehi-
cle behind is not shining directly into
the lens.
If the rearview camera system is still not
working properly after checking the above,
have the system inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Braking
60G165S
The distance needed to bring any vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. The braking distance needed, for
example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will be
approximately 4 times greater than the
braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19
mph). Start to depress the brake pedal
when there is plenty of distance between
your vehicle and the stopping point, and
slow down gradually.
Power-assisted brakesYour vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If
power assistance is lo st due to a stalled
engine or other failure s, the system is still
fully operational on reserve power and you
can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by
pressing the brake pedal once and holding
it down. The reserve power is partly used
up when you depress the brake pedal and
reduces each time the pedal is pressed.
Apply smooth and even pressure to the
pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
WA R N I N G
If water gets into the brake devices,
brake performance may become poor
and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the under-
side of the vehicle, test the brakes
while driving at a slow speed to see if
they have maintained their normal
effectiveness. If the brakes are less
effective than normal, dry them by
repeatedly applying the brakes while
driving slowly until the brakes have
regained their normal effectiveness.

Brake assist systemWhen you slam the brakes on, the brake
assist system determines it to be an emer-
gency stop and provides more powerful
braking for a driver who cannot hold down
the brake pedal firmly.
NOTE:
If you quickly and forcefully depress the
brakes, you may hear clicking sound by
the brake assist system operation. This is
normal and indicates that the brake assist
system is activated properly.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)ABS will help you avoid skidding by elec-
tronically controlling braking pressure. It
will also help you maintain steering control
when braking on slippery surfaces or when
braking hard.
The ABS works automatically, so you do
not need any special braking technique.
Just push the brake pedal down without
pumping. The ABS will operate whenever
it senses that the wheels are locking up.
You may feel the brake pedal move a little
while the ABS is operating.
NOTE:
• The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 9 km/h (6 mph).
• If the ABS system is activated, you may
hear a clunking noise and/or feel pulsat-
ing in the brake pedal. This is normal
and indicates that the brake fluid pres-
sure is being controlled properly.
• You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the
above systems are in the self-check
mode. This sound does not indicate a
malfunction.
WA R N I N G
Even without reserve power in the
brake system, you can still stop the
vehicle by pressing the brake pedal
harder than normally required. How-
ever, the stopping distance may be
longer.
WA R N I N G
• On some types of loose surfaces (such as gravel, snow-covered
roads, etc.), the stopping distance
required for a vehicle with ABS
may be slightly greater than the
one required for a comparable vehi-
cle with a conventional brake sys-
tem. With a conventional brake
system, skidding tires are able to
plow the gravel or snow layer,
shortening the stopping distance.
ABS minimizes this resistance
effect. Allow for extra stopping dis-
tance when driving on loose sur-
faces.
• On regular paved roads, some driv-
ers may be able to obtain slightly
shorter stopping distances with
conventional brake systems than
with ABS.
• In both of the above conditions, ABS will still offer the advantage of
helping you maintain directional
control. However, remember that
ABS will not compensate for bad
road or weather conditions or poor
driver judgment. Use good judg-
ment and do not drive too fast.
